We wanted a line of Plossl telescope eyepieces that offers even better performance and some upgraded features that standard Plossls do not have. High-quality Plossl telescope eyepieces that would appeal to skywatchers who want that extra performance edge.

Orion HighLight Plossls are an exclusive, premium line of 1.25" Plossl eyepieces with some noteworthy enhancements. Like our Sirius Plossl, HighLights offer a generous 52° field of view (43° for the 40mm) and crisp, sharp images. But each HighLight eyepiece features 4-element optics which are fully multi-coated for the highest possible light transmission and better contrast. You will see more of those pinpoint star images and more faint detail in deep-sky objects. HighLights also provide the highest degree of color correction available in Plossl eyepieces anywhere.

The machined aluminum eyepiece housings sport a distinctive anodized finish, with grip traction knurled right into the metal. The supple rubber eyeguards shield out extraneous light. A setscrew safety recess is machined into the 1.25" barrels, which are threaded to accept 1.25" Orion filters. Each HighLight Plossl eyepiece comes with top and bottom end caps for protection from dust and dirt while not in use.

Consider upgrading to premium HighLight Plossl telescope eyepieces. You will not find a higher-caliber eyepiece at such a great value!
